This book focuses on film tourism: the phenomenon of people
visiting locations from popular film or TV series. It is based on
a unique, Asian perspective, encompassing case studies from
around the pan-Asian region, including China, Taiwan, India,
Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and
Singapore. By focusing emphatically on film tourism in the
non-West, this book offers a timely and crucial contribution to a
more comprehensive understanding of the relation between film,
culture and place, particularly in light of the increased volume
of media production and consumption across Asia, and the
consequent film tourism destinations that are currently popping
up across the Asian continent.
